Now there is a coincidence. I am scheduled in April to go on a medical mission to a remote island in the Philippines that can only be reached by a 10-15 hour boat ride in high seas.
I will have recently arrived via Malaysia, Singapore, and big cities in Philippines. I have a feeling my medical mission may be called off.
40% of the country won’t care because literally sacrificing American lives for political gain is “sticking it to the libs”.
I read the reason for testing delays by cdc was fears for the testing not being accurate, but let’s not let facts get in the way of our stupid political games. This is time to come together to beat this.
That is 1.5 million deaths. Reality is letting it spread would swamp our hospitals leading to many more deaths. But I guess all those people are going to die eventually from something someday so who cares, right?
I DK anything about Redfield beyond he obviously feels obligated to gush about Trump at press briefings before all else. This kind of crap, to this extent, is without precedent.
I saw him interrogated in Congress today. It appears he doesn't appreciate the value of testing - i.e., identify the carriers, trace, quarantine, isolate - thereby CONTAINING the transmission/spread of the virus.

Wasn't Trump a big Drudge fan? Wonder if he believes it, now? I heard last week from a Congresscritter on FOX that up to 70% would get it, 20% of those would be hospitalized, 10% of those hospitalized would die.
Harvard doc on CNBC tonight said we should expect 1,000 deaths a day - that's 30,000 deaths a month.
Nice try. CNN with a clear agenda, this man is qualified.
Before joining CDC, he was a tenured professor of medicine and microbiology at University of Maryland, Baltimore, chief of infectious disease, vice chair of medicine and a co-founder and associate director of the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.[4] Dr. Redfield is known for his pioneering contributions in clinical research, and in particular for his extensive research into the virology and therapeutic treatments of HIV infection and AIDS.
He could have the coronavirus or he reads the writing on the wall. The economy is about to take a huge tumble the likes that has never happened in this country and his chances of reelection are quickly evaporating.
Again, what choice are we given by Democrats? Oh yeah, an imbecile who is now in (further) mental decline or an open borders socialist.
Exactly! All these geniuses who would have done so much better than Trump and claiming their candidate will when they gave us freaking Joe Biden for a choice. No thanks.
The poster made up what you quoted.
